Description

Guided Systems is focused primarily on the application of its patented neural network adaptive control methods in the aerospace sector. Its technology is used to dramatically reduce the time and money required to complete guidance and control system design, development and validation, and also offers the potential to significantly increase a system's tolerance of faults or failures when redundant means for actuation are available. While applicable to manned flight systems, missiles, munitions and spacecraft, the technology is particularly well suited to the development programs typical of unmanned flight vehicles, and is especillay effective in application to rotorcraft and other types of complex vertical take-off and landing vehicle designs. The technology also offers great benefits for control of flexible structures, including the flexible airframes that are characteristic of next generation High Altitude Long Endurance (HALE) aircraft designs. Adaptation is accomplished by augmenting a tradition linear or nonlinear controller design with an artificial neural network. The network requires no preflight training. The benefits of neural network adaptation include both the ability to tolerate a large degree of model uncertainty and unmodeled dynamics. Dependence on wind-tunnel data and high-fidelity dynamic modeling in support of control system design is greatly reduced or even eliminated, as is the need for gain scheduling. ...
